Abstract:
Implementations of the present disclosure include a financial services card including a card substrate, and multiple rows of braille-encoded characters formed on the card substrate, at least a portion of the braille-encoded characters encoding an account number that is associated with the financial services card being distributed between a first row and a second row of the multiple rows, and additional information associated with the financial services card being braille-encoded in a third row.
Abstract:
The disclosure includes a transaction card comprising a card body having a slot. A first portion of the slot is formed at a first angle, and a third portion of the slot is formed at a third angle. A card body may be fabricated by positioning the card body at a first angle with respect to a cutter, creating a first portion of a slot at the first angle by at least one of translating the card body across the cutter or translating the cutter across the card body, stopping the translating of the card body, rotating the card body to a third angle to create a second portion of the slot; and creating a third portion of the slot at the third angle by at least one of translating the card body across the cutter or translating the cutter across the card body.
Abstract:
An information processing system includes an information bearing medium and an information reading unit. The information bearing medium has a two-dimensional array of unit data zones. Marks are provided on some of the unit data zones so as to form a digital code. Mark patterns of any two Y-directional adjacent unit data zone strings based on the arrangement of marks in an X-direction differ from each other. The information reading unit generates a data string on the basis of a unit signal formed from a plurality of signals output from a group of detection units that detect the marks in synchronization and recognizes the digital code of the information bearing medium on the basis of a group of the data strings sequentially obtained from the array of the unit data zones.

Abstract:
An RFID tag characterized in including: a dielectric substrate having a hole formed in one main surface thereof; a ground conductive pattern disposed on another main surface of this dielectric substrate; a conductive pattern disposed on the one main surface of the above-mentioned dielectric substrate in such a way as to be placed in an inner portion of the dielectric substrate at a predetermined distance from each of edges of the above-mentioned dielectric substrate, a slot being formed in this conductive pattern; and an IC chip electrically connected to the above-mentioned conductive pattern via this slot, and inserted into the above-mentioned hole of the above-mentioned dielectric substrate.
Abstract:
Microfiche storing means comprising a pouch shaped storing section formed by a pair of superposed transparent plastic sheets, cutout means provided at one of side peripheries of the storing section for receiving selection cords, a magnetic body provided at one of the other side peripheries of the storing section, and positioning cutout means and taking out cutout means both provided on said magnetic body.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for the selection of documents filed in a filing cabinet and comprising a selecting carriage which can be displaced above the documents. According to the invention the documents are suspended to support straps of breakable plastics material provided at their upper portion with selecting tabs some of which being interchangeably mounted on said support straps without protruding on the two faces of said support straps. The invention particularly applies to the selection of cards.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for coding and selecting data members such as cards. A plurality of series arranged fields on the data member are coded and sensed in sequence with a special code to represent a number, the field following the last digit of the number being a decimal, which decimal can be placed at any field in the series. An electrical circuit for coding and sensing includes a keyboard connected through a stepping switch to coding and sensing solenoids.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a card body for a chip card, includes the steps of: supplying a metallic base body with two opposite main faces and a circumferential peripheral face connecting the two main faces, wherein in the base body a module opening for receiving a chip module has already been produced or will still be produced in a module opening zone, and producing a slot on the peripheral face between the two main faces. The slot is formed from the peripheral face up to the module opening or up to the module opening zone. An entry angle (α) of the slot into at least one of the two main faces is not equal to ninety degrees with respect to the main face.
